Business philosophy: Always look beyond what is in front of you. So many areas of business are interrelated and interconnected that it is vitally important that you constantly evaluate the impact of decisions you make across all aspects of your organization – not only for the short term but also the future. No person, department or company can operate in a silo.

Key accomplishment: That my opinion is valued because I am always looking at the big picture and I have the ability to be impartial. I tell it like it is – not always what people want to hear.

Biggest motivator: Honestly, it is to make the organization the best it can be. There is nothing more satisfying to me than solving problems and making an organization as efficient as possible. I am constantly looking for improvements.

How do you most like to spend your own money? I would like to say I am a lavish spender, but let’s be honest: I am a numbers person and I am cheap. When I do spend my hard-earned dollars, my husband and I love to travel. I would go anywhere, anytime.
